“We are in a time where we need to do more — not less,” Schumer said, adding that he will be calling on fellow lawmakers Monday to help him try and undo the cuts.

“School safety is one of the pillars of what the federal government should be supporting, and to know that we have a budget pieced together by the administration that undermines the duty of the Department of Education on so many levels is nails on the chalkboard,” he added.

The department’s budget proposal for 2019 would nix multiple school grant programs, including “project prevention grants” that allocate federal funds to agencies to better identify students who might end up being violent and serve those who have experienced violence.

The current proposed budget would also eliminate the “School Emergency Response to Violence Program,” which helps communities recover from trauma.

Schumer cautioned that axing these programs would “undermine school safety across the county” and make rebuilding following the Parkland, Fla., shooting more difficult.

Seventeen students and staff were fatally shot Feb. 14 at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, allegedly by a disturbed former pupil.
